Dear All, I will be going on my maternity leave starting next week. I would like to know if my privileged/earned leave (PL) will continue to accumulate during this time. Additionally, if I decide to resign from my position while on maternity leave, can I submit my resignation during this period? Would the notice period still be applicable during my leave?
Thank you.

Regarding Maternity Leave, there is no need to submit your resignation. You are authorized to have maternity leave for 12 weeks with full pay and allowances. After completing the 12 weeks of your maternity leave, you can also avail of leave without pay. In your case, you can avail of the PL from next year's entitlement.

Hi, the company will pay 12 weeks' salary for your maternity leave. If you feel that you require more time to recover from health issues, you can combine it. Please do not resign and speak with the HR department.

Dear Manasi,
PL Accumulation During Maternity Leave
1. PL accumulation should continue for the period you are on maternity leave (12 weeks).
Advice on Resignation During Maternity Leave
2. Do not resign from the services of the company until your maternity leave is over. Why would you want to lose out on the salary that is legally due to you?
3. If you wish to discontinue from the services of the company, discuss with your boss and HR. Inform them of your intentions of not rejoining and see how things work out. However, ensure that your application for maternity leave has been forwarded to HR and approved before you discuss the matter with your seniors/HR. Otherwise, they may ask you to resign before proceeding on maternity leave, and thereby you may lose your maternity benefits.
Hope this helps.

Maternity Leave and PF Calculation
1. PF will not be calculated for the maternity leave period. The days will be taken into consideration only for eligibility.
Resignation During Maternity Leave
2. It is not advisable to resign during this period. You can avail of the benefits.
3. If you do not want to continue, join and work for a week, inform about your inability to continue, and resign by giving notice. Generally, people will be sympathetic during this period and may request some leave if you have leave credit. Otherwise, take leave without pay. Serve the notice period; generally, there may not be many issues for handing over as you were already on long leave. It is easier to get relieved immediately thereafter.
